Mann Oil Filters W719/30 vs W719/5

[Kunz, Bob]

My understanding is that the filter media is designed to hold more dirt in the /30 filter. I have both of course but have not cut new ones open to compare. The /5 filter weighs 354g and the /30 one weighs 366g. The /5 has 4 perimeter holes, the /30 has 5 holes. The bypass valve is on the gasket end on the /5 and the other end on the /30. So there are some differences. If you have a source for them at the same price, I'd just use the /30 for everything. When I got my 10 packs, the /5 was about $4 each and the /30 was $10 each.

Little green men from Mars made Bob Gregory say:

What would allow a 6x longer period of use, more filter media in the same size container?
Different/better? filter media?
